THE GLOBAL CAR CATALOG

Vauxhall Carlton Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1984–1994) — First Generation

The first-generation Vauxhall Carlton offers sedan and five-door estate body styles. Your choice depends partly on what you carry, but the engine and transmission also shape everyday driving.

← All Vauxhall models

Vauxhall Carlton Engines and Transmissions

Vauxhall Carlton engine choices include petrol and diesel options. The 1.8 AT petrol and 2.3 AT diesel sedans combine automatic transmission with rear-wheel drive, easing the work of driving in traffic. Another example, the petrol 3.0 MT estate, gives you manual gear selection for direct control on hills or when carrying a load.
